The 2009 Ashbourne Cup inter-collegiate camogie championship was staged in Cork over the weekend of February 21–22. It was won by Waterford Institute of Technology who defeated the hosts UCC in Saturday's semi-final in The Mardyke before denying University College Dublin the three-in-a-row in the final by three points in Páirc Uí Rinn 24 hours later.[1] Player of the tournament was WIT's Stacey Redmond.
The Final[edit]
Waterford's victory was inspired by a fifth-minute goal on five minutes from Mullinavat's Michelle Quilty who combined effectively with Wexford duo Stacey Redmond and Ursula Jacob to shoot past Wexford inter-county team-mate Mags Darcy. Waterford led 1–6 to 0–1 at half-time. UCD came back in the second half when they had the breeze with strong performances from Wexford's Mary Leacy and Cork's Rena Buckley but their goal from another Wexford inter-county player Una Leacy 10 minutes from the end was not enough.
Shield[edit]
Galway's Lorraine Ryan scored 1–8 of NUIG's total in a 1–14 to 2–10 victory over University of Limerick. Edel Maher and Maire O'Neill scored first half goals for Limerick who led 2–7 to 0–4 at half time.
